question i am trying to reenlist in the i am fully qualified to my reenlistment code is my estimated time of separa Tion ets Date was september my rank was my question to you is does the army close Down military occupational specialities my mos was 95b military to i would like to reenter in that same i have gone to the Recruiter in Kaiserslautern and he tells me that 95 b is closed out overs Tren thed and has no idea when it will re of the 10 alternate Moss he offered eight Are combat i would like to go Back in the army and i have been and i know what to expect from the but i can not go in under the Moss the Recruiter offers does the army have the Recruiter recruit prior service members in certain Moss or does the Recruiter have a cer Tain mos quota to fill is there a closeout Date for prior service members i am i do have a Job so i am not in a have to go Back in i just want Long Germany editors note Howard Europe recruiting company replies first let me say that i am glad that you Are considering returning to the army and also that your Story is a very familiar one in regard to returning to your former primary military occupational specially the Recruiter in Kaiserslautern in formed you your former my is closed to prior service applicants at this that Means that if you desire to return to the army you would have to choose an mos which you Are qualified for and is available when you make application to return to the As of May my is not Avail Able to prior service applicants that for Merly held 95b As a pos until Decem Ber the department of the army is requiring All prior service applicants to report to Active duty prior to october if they submitted their application prior to the end of May it is anticipated that prior service applicants will be Able to request Active duty reporting after october sometime within the june or july time in regard to your concern Over the specialities that were offered to you at the time you made i can assure you that your Recruiter was not holding a thing Back from you indicated that you were offered 10 specialities to choose you Are quite fortunate because that Means that you have better than aver age test scores and that you Are highly qualified to return to the presently i have no less than 10 prior service applicants just waiting for one regardless of the nature of the so they May return to the the army recruiting command Pri Mary Mission is to recruit highly qualified Young men and women that have the potential for productive military the army recruiting objective for fiscal year 1985 is nearly Young men and of that the army has established a ceiling of prior service applicants to return to the army in this fiscal it is True that applicants that do not have prior military service normally have a much greater selection of specialities to choose from than the prior service applicant does when they the reason for this is that the along with having a recruiting also has a retention Mission As it is not practical for the army to allow sol Diers to leave the service while holding critical skills that costs the government thousands of dollars in train ing military permanent change of station pcs military school and allow them to return to the army on their in my the opportunities for prior service applicants that desire to re turn to the military will continue to be very limited and this should Send a Strong message to persons that Are pondering leaving the service upon completion of their present enlistment in response to your question about whether recruiters recruit prior service for certain the answer is the department of the periodically throughout the fiscal will print out a listing of in which persons May return to the army if they previously held one As a if a Soldier that held one of those Moss and wished to return to the serv he or she would be restricted into returning into that they would not get a Chance to choose from the 10 or so that were offered to persons that wish to return to the army and did not hold a pos on the list such As must be retrained into an mos that is available at the time they the Bottom line is that our recruiters do not actively recruit prior service apply the Europe recruiting company total Mission for this fiscal year is nearly 200 new recruits and Only 17 have been designated As prior service the other vast majority of the recruits must and do come from recent High school graduates and current High school in response to your questions about whether recruiters have quotas to fill and whether there is a closeout Date for prior service applicants i submit this to our recruiters do have missions to accomplish in the form of for exam one month a Recruiter May have a Mission to recruit one High school senior one female High school graduate and one male High school once in a he May be missioner to recruit a prior service As far As a close out Date for prior service there is it is possible for the department of the army to restrict prior service applicants from returning to the service this fiscal i am sorry that you cannot return to the army in a specially that the army is now offering the Moss that Are Avail Able to persons such As yourself change daily and i can Only advise that you Check Back with him on a regular basis to see if a specially to your liking becomes Avail in the Best of Luck with your current town housing shortage Ai i have a very serious question that no one seems Able to answer so i thought id put it to i have a Friend whose husband is a staff sergeant and they have two old and 15 she is pregnant with twins due in they live in base housing in a two bedroom they have tried to apply for a three bedroom and have been told that they must wait at least 15 now my question is Why do they have to wait 15 months when there Are single men with no family living in three bedroom apartments i dont understand the rules for base housing that will allow its bad enough that Only e4s i believe and above Are eligible for base housing when its the Low paid airmen that need the but to put one or two people alone in a three bedroom is really a total waste of do we All have to be master sergeants to get a fair Deal overseas do i have to write to the president to get these poor people enough room just to sleep Gail Hazle Ramstein Germany editors note chief family
